Word count: 750

A/N: This was, to me, a norse mythology nerd, hilarious to write. I want you to keep in mind two things: 1) This is supposed to be MCU!Loki x Avenger!reader, and 2) It's also myth!Loki so it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER, JUST ENJOY! :)

Everything was fine.

You were in Loki's arms. His bedsheets ended up on the floor and you still weren't cold —he was holding you so closely to his body you forgot about the winter. He hummed something in your ear, whispering sweet nothings. You could smell the coffee getting ready from the kitchen's compound. You could hear the little drops of rain begin to grow. A perfectly beautiful winter morning.

Everything was fine, until Thor busted the door open.

Loki didn't even bother getting up from bed and waved him off.

"We're busy", he muttered, but Thor did not move.

"It's them", explained his older brother, getting increasingly nervous. "I couldn't hold them back any longer. I'm sorry".

"What are you talking about?", Loki got impatient.

"Do you really want me to say it in front of your secret lover?", said Thor, and Loki's eyes widened impossibly. You frowned.

"What do you mean se—", but you were cut off with the yelling of a woman walking into the room. Loki muttered he was sorry and touched you with a green light of his palm. You soon realized he made you invisible.

"Loki Laufeyson, look at him working so hard!", she said. Loki gulped and got up off the bed.

She had long and blonde hair, almost to her waist, and big eyes that were now frowning along with the rest of her angry face. She had a green cape over her shoulders and —detail you couldn't miss— a wedding ring.

"Sigyn, listen—", he put his palms up, trying to calm her down.

"I've listened! I've listened to Heimdail! Are you saying Heimdail is lying and the God of Bullshit is telling me the truth?!".

"Y… yes?".

"Have you or have you not been sleeping with your coworker?".

And then it hit you. Sigyn. As in, mythology's Loki's wife, Sigyn.

"I…".

"And what about Angrboda?".

"Excuse me? You… know about her?", asked Loki, this time even a little more panicked. You listened at it all in silence, bewildered at Loki having pulled this up so under your radar for so long.

A taller, even more beautiful than any of the women you've ever seen in your life, came in long footsteps with a calmness that terrified even the God of Mischief. She folded her arms over her chest, and stared at him with unease.

"Of course she knows about me. Haven't you told her about your little babies?", she confronted him. You choked on air.

"Oh, he told me all about those blessings", said Sigyn with sarcasm, and turned briefly to Angrboda in a lower voice, "I don't mean any offense to your children, I'm just pissed off at Loki".

To which Angrboda answered in the same compassionate tone,

"No, of course. Non taken. We have to stick together, right?".

"So you have other women, and kids?", you spoke, and immediately the spell broke, making you visible to everyone in the room. Sigyn and Angrboda gasped and Loki grabbed his face.

"It's not what you all think", he tried to lie.

"So you don't have a third lover".

"It… might be what you think".

"You have how many kids, darling?", you asked, containing your anger.

"I… uh…".

"He has two with me", said Sigyn, "and three with her".

"Is everything alright?", asked Thor, walking in. He took a quick scan at the room, inhaled a sharp breath and closed the door again. "Alright. Good luck, guys".

Angrboda took a step back.

"I'm out of this. Odin demanded my kids to be punished. You, mister, just ruined our life", she said, before leaving.

You walked to Loki and slapped his face.

"How could you? I thought you cared about me. That I wasn't a… an escape for whatever was bothering you of these two amazing women!".

"Godesses", corrected Sigyn.

"I'm sorry. From these Godesses. But of course you wouldn't actually be here for me. I'm a mere mortal, and you're a dick. I hope you're happy", you ended it, and walked out of the room. "I want your stuff to be out of here in thirty minutes".

"And you're coming back to Asgard to deal with your mess", said Sigyn. Loki sighed.

"For the record, I did care about all of you".

"I know, I know", she sighed out and grabbed his arm to go back home.

The recent drama:

So I dropped one of my good friends. We had dated when I was 18 for a few weeks and I dumped him because he wouldn't get on the phone to talk to me, so I dipped. In the years that followed, he would come back every so often, try to woo me away from Matt, then eventually get angry and leave. He left and came back like 3 times. We've gone through spells where we would be super buddy buddy, or we wouldn't talk for months. He was my game buddy, although he would drive me insane because he would just do every mission and just drag me along for the fun of it.

While I was with Matt, T was very helpful. He would let me vent to him and he would validate my feelings, and when I was happy, he would remind me of all the awful things Matt did so I would stay strong against him. His line was "you're unhappy" and it worked because I was at the time. Even then, though, I knew he had feelings for me and he would tell me how much he loved me. When Matt and I broke up, I got into a relationship with my husband, Benjas, and T got into a relationship with Amber.

T came around again, spouting the same thing. He loves me, will always love me, wants to be with me, but will respect my relationship...even though his fiancé, Amber had started living with him then. Our friendship did the cycle again, until he overstepped on a FB post of mine, and I put him in his place. I blocked him on FB, he confronted me about it, and I told him why it had to happen: that what he said was totally inappropriate, it made Benjas angry and me angry, and his or my family could've seen it and it caused problems for us. T's comeback was "in all the years I've known you, you've never let a man tell you what to do". I did not stand for that and had to explain 3 times why what he said was bad and why it wasn't acceptable. He finally understood and asked that I text every so often so he knows I'm ok.

I didn't text for a few months. Recently, he tried to reach out through text, and email (forgot he had my email so that was a surprise). When that didn't work, he had his friend Gabe message me, and Amber friended me on FB (she had had me blocked on and off for years). By then, I was hella creeped out. Apparently, T had "a bad feeling" that something bad had happened to me and he had a dream something happened to me, and broke down to Amber and told her he missed me so, according to him, she added me out of jealousy and to see what he and I said to each other on FB (we weren't friends on there so she would've see nothing). Anyway, his actions and him getting his people to reach out to me made me rethink some things, and it also made me listen to my intuition harder, which said that he was full of it and lying. I started to wonder if what he was telling me was true, so I chatted with Amber about it and it was like we were getting two different stories. For example, Amber was moving out because she needed assisted living help and T was telling me that if she moved out, they would probably break up (it went from probably to definitely break up) and he would cut the ties completely, whereas Amber was under the impression that T would still be there for her and that they might break up but it was a low chance. Other things like he was blaming my husband for why I wasn't talking to him, and when I told Amber about it, she got angry about it (understandably).

When I talked to him and told him that I can't trust him when my intuition is telling me that he's lying and it's been proven so we should takea break from being friends, he told me that he wouldn't be coming back or be there for me anymore. I said that that was fine, as if the person going back to someone wasn't him coming back to me every time.

Anyway, I creeped his FB page one more time and he posted

Which essentially is him taking some of the accountability for everything but he's putting a lot of it on me, when I wanted nothing to do with him at all for awhile and I TRIED with the super quick responses or no responses at all. He says he's been used, but he wouldn't respect my marriage even though I told him he needed to and he said he would. I kept saying "I love you like a friend" but he wouldn't listen. How is that my fault? I'm really angry that I'm being blamed for shit I didn't do because he can't face that part of himself.

Not to mention, he has GREATLY overestimated his place in my life (or as my friend Leighann says, his market value). He was needed at some point, but after the FB thing, it became incredibly apparent that he never respected me as a person or as anything else other than a possible future lover, that he put me on a pedestal, and he never considered that I moved on in my emotions. I mean, I got MARRIED to the love of my life and this POS was still trying to chase me, and recently had gone back to telling me how unhappy I was, when I'm not. It was surreal to be told "you're unhappy" multiple times in a short period of time and my brain went "what? No we're not". Whatever mind game he tried to run on me again didn't work this time.

Anyway, here's the shit Amber texted me when I asked her why she friended me again:

Versus what he texted me about everything:

So....why the gap in stories? I confronted him about what his friends said to her too, and he complained that you can't control your friends so I couldn't hold that against him. Well, in reality, you set the standard for how your friends act around you, and you set the boundaries about your SO, so his friends shouldn't have been telling her that she looked like me or anything. He also told me not to trust her, but I felt like she didn't have an agenda with me, until the end. Now I find that they're staying together, or else why would he be apologizing to her publicly in multiple posts? Guess she bought his bullshit, and he doesn't want to be alone again. Lol whatever, let them be toxic together. Unfortunately, if he's done this once, he'll do it again (he did with another woman too apparently - an ex of a friend of his, he asked for pics of her and according to him he said "no nudes" but according to Amber, the woman said "no nudes"), so it'll only be a matter of time until he either tries to come after me again, or he finds someone else in his town to go after. I've blocked him on almost everything, blocked her as well, so neither of them can come back in my life. I'm just a little worried about those old nudes of mine he still has...I don't think he'd do anything but I almost told Amber about them so she would get him to delete them. I guess, worst case is I could always sue if he puts them on a p0rn site...

Sorry I needed to get this shit off my chest. I know people's opinions shouldn't matter to me, but they do, especially when I'm being blamed for everything and the person who ACTUALLY set everything in motion is refusing to take responsibility for it.

I'll do a cord cutting spell or a binding or something after we move to the new apartment so they don't come back.

Storms (Chapter 12)

.ADDITIONAL CHAPTERS HERE Enjoy :) ************** “Tony.” Steve had gone looking for Tony after his confrontation with Thor the day before, but the storms outside compound had convinced him to keep his distance. Today he was trying again, bringing Bucky along for moral support, and they found him in the kitchen, happily digging into a giant bowl of ice cream, scrolling through something on a tablet. “Tony.” Steve said again, a little louder because Tony hadn't acknowledged him yet and this time Tony jumped, jerking back in his seat in surprise. “Captain. Didn't hear you.” Tony looked up at him, and then away, avoiding looking at Bucky all together. “What can I do for you?” “I just wanted to--” Steve sat down at the table and frowned when Tony leaned back in his chair, keeping some distance between them. “I just wanted to talk to you a little...and apologize.” “Apologize?” Tony repeated, and his chair screeched as he scooted it further back. “Full offense Cap- I don't really think I want to have this conversation. So maybe you should just let me enjoy my ice cream in peace.” Bucky hadn't sat down yet, and his jaw dropped open at Tony's comment. “Damn.” he muttered, but Tony ignored him. “I'm being serious, Tony. I think it would be good for you and I to sit together and talk and just--” “I don't want to have this conversation.” Tony repeated. “Tony!” Steve was already getting frustrated. “Just listen alright? We need to--” “No you listen!” Tony snapped, looking upset, and Bucky raised his hands quickly. “Please, Tony.” Tony visibly flinched when Bucky spoke. “Please just give him a minute. This isn't easy for anyone, so please just…” Tony pushed his ice cream and folded his arms. “Talk. Five minutes.” He knew he should be better about this, more mature maybe, especially with all the mental and emotional progress he'd made with Thor by his side. But damn it was difficult to look at Steve. More difficult to look at him with Bucky standing by his side. So sure, maybe Tony should be better about this. But he didn't really care. Steve cleared his throat uneasily, knowing Tony was one bad comment away from walking away altogether. “Tony. Look, when all this--when all this happened, you know I had a lot going on at the time and--” “Nope.” Bucky coughed. “Not an apology. Try again.” Tony actually smiled the tiniest bit at that.

Steve sent Bucky a look and cleared his throat again. “Tony. Everything about what happened between us was terrible. The Accords, fighting each other. I mean-- leaving you in Siberia was an awful thing, and I can't tell you how sorry I am. This last year, I had so much going on with Bucky and the team and I didn't ever give myself time to even think about what happened. To think about you and how you were coping with everything.” Tony just looked at him blankly. “And I guess I was so relieved to be coming home I didn't stop to think about you sitting here, by yourself, reliving everything. I was so caught up in how Bucky was doing and how the team was coping that I--I forgot about you.” Pain flashed over Steve's face. “Thor told me about your sternum. About the drinking. The nightmares. I'm so sorry. Tony, I'm so--” his voice broke then, and Tony's brow furrowed a little. “I'm not sure if I've ever been a good teammate for you.” Steve continued, softer now. “And I know I wasn't ever a good friend. And I know we have so much to work through but can we-- can we start? Because I swear I'm a better man than what I've been to you. I swear I am, and I really want a chance to prove that, really want a chance to move forward and show everyone--the world, the team, each other, how amazing we are together.” Tony was already shaking his head, already looking like he was going to cry. “Pretty words, Cap. But I've heard prettier-- and more honest ones too.” “Tony, I'm serious.” Steve pleaded. “I'm not saying this because Thor almost crushed my chest, or because Bucky--” he sent a sidelong glare at the other soldier. “--because Bucky twisted my arm until it almost broke to get me here. I'm serious. Tony, honey--” “Don't.” Tony snapped then, angrily. “Don't call me honey as if things are alright between us. You never called me that before, you certainly can't call me that now. Dont talk down to me in that calm voice you use when talking to children. Im not a fucking child having a tantrum, Steve and--” “He doesn't mean anything by it.” Bucky interrupted carefully, quietly. “He's serious Tony. We both are. We were so caught up in our own things that--” “Yeah I got it.” Tony said. “Too busy to think about me. That's fine.” “Tony, please just--” “Look.” Tony stood up and folded his arms. “It sucks, alright? Yeah, this last year was shitty and yes I almost drank myself into a hospital and sure, maybe I tried to starve myself, but you know what? I don't care about that anymore. Thor came along and took all that away from me. So I don't--” he rubbed his forehead. “I don't care about it anymore. Alright? You guys had a whole year together to be a team and I had a whole year to… to not be part of the team. Most days it doesn't even feel like there's a spot for me anymore. And I've just sort of realized that… I'm okay with that.” “What?” Steve looked nervous. “Tony what are you saying?” “I'm saying that I don't care about this.” Tony motioned between them. “I appreciate your apology but I also know if Thor hadn't gone all alpha male on you, nobody would even acknowledge what happened. I mean, does the team even know? Or do they think you guys just escaped and everything's been fine? What happened with Clint and his wife? Why did Vision come home with you guys?” Tony shrugged. “Is Bucky alright now or does he still relapse? Where did you stay while you were gone? What were you doing? Who was helping you?” “All these are things I don't know and I've just realized that I don't--I don't care anymore. I've been working on a new suit, and honestly I don't even think I'm going to finish it. I think I'm done. Sergeant Barnes is a perfect replacement for me. You guys will work out just fine.” “Tony. I am not trying to take your place on the team.” Bucky actually stood to his feet, protesting immediately. “Please don't think--” “I don't.” Tony shook his head. “I don't think you're trying to take my place. I think Steve handed it to you and that's… that's fine. Its all fine. When you guys came home I thought I really wantd to forgive and forget and move on...and now I think I just want to move on completely.” Please think about what you're saying.” Steve pleaded. “You don't want to not be on the team. Think about what you're saying. You are Iron Man, Tony, why would you want to give that up? Stop and think.” Steve knew he sounded like he was ordering Tony around, and he hated that, but Tony couldnt possibly be thinking about--- “I've already thought about it.” Tony said quietly and turned a little when Thor entered the kitchen. “Anthony, are you alright?” Thor asked, eyes narrowing to a glare when he saw Bucky and Steve. “What are you--” “I'm fine.” Tony slipped his arms around Thor's waist. “I'm… fine. Can we talk a little? I've got something to run by you.” “Of course, my love.” Thor sent one more glare towards the soldiers and led Tony from the room. “What is going on?” Steve banged his hand on the table. “Tony can't just quit, he can't just stop being Iron Man that's crazy, that's just--” “Stevie.” Bucky shook his head a little. “You can't fix everything. Sometimes it's just too late.” “I can't accept that.” “You're going to have to.” Bucky rubbed his chin, scratching through the stubble. “And I mean…you don't blame him, right? This whole thing is awful. You cant blame him for wanting a clean break.” “No.” Steve's hands tightened into fists even as he hung his head. “No, I cant blame him at all.” ********************* ******************** Something that sounded like thunder, but not quite thunder shook the compound a few mornings later, and Tony looked up from his breakfast in surprise, while Thor looked up with a scowl. “This cannot be good.” he grumbled and hefted Mjolnir, beckoning for Tony to follow him outside to figure out what had made the noise. “Son of a bitch.” Tony sighed. “Why are you here?” “Stark.” Green eyes narrowed in irritation. “And here I had hoped that you had simply perished in--” “You will watch your words, brother!” Thor snapped, and the dark haired Trickster God known as Loki simply smiled and bowed in deference. “Of course. Brother. Whatever was I thinking?” he swept a critical eye over both Tony and Thor before shrugging. “Asgard requires your presence, Thor Odinson. You are to return with me immediately. You have felt the summons and ignored them anyway, so I am here to fetch you.” Thor opened his mouth to protest, but something in his brother’s eyes and expression made him hesitate. “Very well.” he said after a moment and Tony squawked in surprise. “What? You’re leaving, just like that? Loki is a professional liar, why would you just--” ��Anthony.” Thor lifted his chin, letting his magic warm the surface of his skin until a glow lit between them. “Some things I cannot explain, especially where Loki is concerned. You must trust me, though.” “Of course I trust you, but---” “Then trust me.” Thor interrupted softly, and dropped his head to kiss him, lingering over Tony's lips until their skin was sparking where it met. “If we must leave, it will not be for long. Do not worry, my love. All will be well. “Alright.” Tony swallowed any other protests, and sagged against the door as Thor swept past him, heading towards their room. “Wait, what? We?” But Thor was already gone. Loki was smiling when Tony turned back to him, and Tony ground his teeth in irritation. “Why are you smiling?” “Because it is amazing what you do not know, Anthony Stark. Surely you didn't think Thor would return to Asgard without you?” “I--I--” Tony shrugged a little helplessly. “I don't know? Um. Am I going to Asgard?” “Yes.” Loki said and his eyes glowed a little. “Yes you are.”

“You look happy about that.” Tony said uncomfortably and Loki gave him another mysterious smile.

“I suppose I am.”
